This is my 1st time growing and to top that off im doing it outdoors...currently have 12 plants in 3 different phases of life if that makes sense.. their in 15 gal smart pots..im mixing pro mix and fox farm ocean forrest and i also added perlite for drainage..my 2 older plants were started inside under 2 small t5s and moved outside, theyre now starting to flower and i started feeding them kool bloom from general hydroponic and cal mag because i seen some yellowing in the lower leaves. Thought it was a N deficient..was that the right thing to do? Also should i be giving more nutes if i dont see any burn? Like I said im new to growing looking for any helpful info that you guys can offer..I can post pics if needed to help guide me in the right direction....thanks in advance

Sup..... imo a couple of them look super hungry. I would go as far as to say it needs a recommended dosage root drench of cal/mag (because it has nitrogen too)
But I would also do a foliar feed as well.

Actually now that I see that plant with the red stems....
What is the pH of your soil? You might be feeding it enough but have some nute lock out happening.
And honestly this is why I do not like dealing with coco.....

Don't do anything until you get another ph test and then read on soil ph and nutrient lock out....

It's the Kool Bloom that did it. Red or purple stems are a sign of too much p-k. Right now they need a couple waterings of some basic grow fertilizer. No lockouts or ph issues here. Easy fix

Ok so tonight and for the past few nights its getting down to 62° could that also play a part in color changing in stems and or leaves?

Any time there is an issue with discoloration the first thing one should do is check ph unless you are a seasoned organic grower.

Red and purple stems if not from genetics are usually a sign or p or K deficiency not toxicity ... (this is easily Googled) especially red or purple stripes.

The reason I said to check your ph and make sure it isn't lock out is that if your ph is our of whack, you can end up over fertilizing and doing more harm when in reality the plant can not absorb the nutes.

I encourage you to go to www.growweedeasy.com and do lots of reading.
